Context

The best-benchmarked open-source AI memory system.

What's new

The best-benchmarked open-source AI memory system.

Key details

  • Verbatim storage, pluggable backend, 96.6% R@5 raw on LongMemEval — zero API calls.
  • MemPalace has no other official websites.
  • The only official sources are this GitHub repository, the PyPI package, and the docs at mempalaceofficial.com.
  • Any other domain (including .tech, .net, or other .com variants) is an impostor and may distribute malware.

Results & evidence

  • Verbatim storage, pluggable backend, 96.6% R@5 raw on LongMemEval — zero API calls.
  • Important Claude Code sessions expire in 30 days without auto-save hooks wired.

Limitations / unknowns

  • Generalization outside curated tasks is still unclear.

Next-step validation checks

  • Reproduce one claim with a public baseline and fixed evaluation settings.
  • Check robustness on out-of-distribution or long-context cases.
  • Track whether independent teams report matching results.
